People usually associate fatty acids with negative thoughts, I guess it is partly due to the media which seems to target the phrase 'fatty' as something that is detrimental to health.
Nevertheless it is important for you to know that studies and clinical experience has shown that essential fatty acids are effective in combating male pattern baldness.
The acid compound such as linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids are found in a variety of oil such as linseed, sunflower, black currant, evening primrose and soy. Even though these oils can be purchased easily from supermarkets and stores, we don't seem to have enough of it due to our modern unhealthy lifestyle which involves consumption of food that is not beneficial such as fast food, soda drinks, processed food and etc
One way to ensure you have adequate consumption of it is by taking one teaspoon of any one of these oils once a day. For instance, you can take black current oil or evening primrose oil capsules. You can also use on teaspoon of sunflower oil with other dressing ingredients on a salad or other food and obtain the recommended dosage that way.
It is often hard to get adequate gamma linolenic acid, better known as GLA in your diet. This important acid is found in blackcurrent oil. A 500mg of capsule of this oil twice a day will improve the textual, density and quality of your hair in six to eight weeks.

Hair Loss Prevention - Wrong Way To Wash Hair
As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Thus, it is important for you to take good care of your hair and scalp even if you do not suffer from hair loss yet.
You will be surprised that many people, both young and adult do not know how to wash their hair properly. Most do not realize that the way they go about it does more harm than good. Always pay attention to the amount of hair that you shed daily when you wash your hair
Firstly, you need to take caution and make sure you choose the right shampoo type appropriate for your hair and scalp condition.
For instance, if your scalp is of that of oily type, then it makes no sense for you to choose a shampoo with added conditioner moisturizer. Why would you want to add more oil to your oily scalp right?
Likewise, if you have dry scalp or hair, choose a shampoo that improve sebaceous gland producing of oil in your scalp and with added moisturizer to improve the silkiness texture.
Not all shampoo of various brands created alike. Always check the ingredients listed in the label. Be knowledgeable in hair care. It may take you quite awhile to figure out which shampoo type works best but generally speaking, it is always good to choose one with natural herbs and organic compounds.
It is a clear sign that you are not using the right shampoo type if your scalp itch after you washing. Discontinue the use of such shampoo and try to get something else. It might be the case your scalp is sensitive or allergy to the ingredients of the product. I like to get shampoo that is pH balance and I think it works well on both oily as well as dry scalp type.
Never apply finger nail pressure on your scalp during washing. You could easily scratch your scalp and damaged the hair follicles unnecessary. Apply pressure using your finger tips instead of the nails while you run through during shampooing.
Don't wait till you start to lose your crowning glory for by that time it would be much more difficult for you to slow it down or revert hair thinning problem.

Sleep Deprivation And Hair Loss
Genetic factor is one of the major contributor hat determines the extend and the onset timing of hair loss in individual. Even if hair thinning runs in your family (for instance if one or both of your parents and siblings experience balding symptoms) it does not mean you can't do anything about it.
Apart from gene, there are many other factors linked to hair loss. Stress, anxiety, imbalance diet and other unhealthy lifestyle can accelerate and exacerbate your scalp problem. Did you know sleep deprivation is a BIG major factor that can lead to rapid hair loss?
Prolong lack of sleep can cause your body internal functions to go haywire. Sleep deprivation is known to cause hormone imbalance and affects the regulation of other endocrine functions. The condition of your hair reflects your general health.
Quality sleep enables the cells in our body to repair and regenerates. Loss of sleep prevents lowers the body immune system and accelerate male or female hair pattern loss.
Research into sudden hair loss such as 'Telogen Effluvium' indicates strong correlation between severe stress and premature hair resting phase. A person suffering from 'Telogen Effluvium' will experience sudden rapid hair loss as a result of hair entering resting phase, which is simply a condition where it stop growing for about 3 months before it shed off.
No amount hair loss treatment is going to be effective so long as you continue to suffer from lack of sleep and or experience sleeping disorder problem resulting in loss of quality sleep. Even though there are multiple factors that contributes to balding, sleep deprivation is definitely one of the which you should not ignore.

Have The Right Expectations About Hair Loss Treatment
One of the most common question that many people has in mind, particularly those who suffers from premature or early hair thinning problem is whether if there is any hairloss treatment that is effective and long lasting.
In my humble opinion, the question is hardly the right question to ask at all. You may wonder why? Well, in one way or another, sooner or later, everyone experience hair loss and this is always the case particulary as you aged.
I am not saying that every old man or woman is going to become completely bald eventually. I am sure you will agree with me that aging people usually has less hair, hair thinning is more obvious in the older folks compare to the youths and the teeens.
You need to have the right mindset, particularly the right expectations on hair loss treatments. Don't go around and waste your money to look for a permanent lasting solution simply because there aren't any!
You should stay away from any bogus hairloss centers that tells you they have a permanent lasting solution to your scalp problem! There are many dishonest people out there who is more than ready and looking forward to scam on you by selling you false hopes and dreams!
In summary, always take note that there is no such thing as a one shoe fit all size hair loss treatment so to speak. Each and everyone of us is unique in many ways. Our body respond to different treatments in
different degree of effectiveness.
You set youself up for big time dissapointment if you continue to believe that there is a permanent solution to your hair loss problem. You can slow down the rate of hair loss but you can never cure it permanently.
Have the right expectations about hair loss treatment. By all means do your best and work with your hair care loss consultants or trichologist to formulate the best treatment. Just remember the only permanent solution if you mind, is get a tuopee over your balding head!

Conspiracy Theory - Hair Cloning Is Intentionally Delayed By Corporations
Hi sir:How do you really expect me to answer this question? If there is a conspiracy, how would I know this? But really, the question I must ask — Why would there even be a conspiracy? Why would corporations intentionally delay the cloning? What is the motive? Sometimes I can’t tell if someone is joking around or if they truly believe something as nutty as this.
I just found this site and you have pretty interesting material. I would like to know if you know of any intentional delays in hair cloning/multiplication access caused by the FDA, corporation or any other very influential source because it seems like a mighty slow process compared to even bigger breakthroughs science have accomplished. Thank you.
Corporations will win by making money with the new technology. The doctors will make money with performing more cloning surgeries. Balding men will benefit in managing their problem possibly without surgery. The technology is slow to develop, but treating hair loss is a multi-billion dollar industry, so it would make no sense for any for-profit company to delay a new treatment if it were ready to market.
Then again, perhaps there is a secret club of men with full heads of hair who do not want social and economic competition from their bald counterparts. Something to think about…

Is it Rare to Go Gray and Then Bald Before 40?
I’m wondering, is it very rare for a man to go both gray and bald before his 40’s? I mean, I’ve never seen a 20'ish or 30'ish male balding/graying at the same time. Is there any famous person who’s got these two genetic conditions?Balding and graying are independent genetic traits. To see this for yourself, go to a busy shopping mall with an upper level and look down on the men who pass under you.
Thanks in advance
Just because you’ve never seen it, that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. Men tend to start seeing gray in their 30s, but it could start at any age (depending on genetics). I can’t name any famous balding and gray 30 year old, but that could probably be due to younger actors dye their gray hair to stay looking young. If I come up with a name, I’ll update this post.

What Would You Do for Prince William, Specifically?
This is a follow-up to a post from last week:
So hypothetically, assuming he has an average hair density and scalp laxity (the ideal scenario) he could cover the entire scalp with two surgeries. The first procedure would be the most dramatic, giving him a non-balding hairline with a frame to his face and some fill for the thinning top and crown. I couldn’t get too into specifics, as I’ve not met Prince William.
When and if he came to transplant, we would do almost exactly what we did for reality star Jon Gosselin. He had only one surgery and we did not address the continuing hair loss to the top crown area, which appeared to worsen. Jon has a similar hair loss pattern, but his hair is black as opposed to the royal’s blondish-brown hair. Since Jon’s hair loss gives less contrast to his skin, Prince William should attain better results.

Hello!I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Bald is beautiful“. With respect to Prince William, I am sure if he is bothered by his hair he would have done something for it. He looks like an excellent candidate to take finasteride and see what happens with the medication alone. One reader commented that they didn’t like Prince William’s thinning hair and wondered if he would be a candidate for hair transplant surgery. Yes, he’d likely be good candidate if that is what he wanted to do about it.
last week a question was posted about Prince William which you opened your doors to William if ever he decided to go down the hair transplant route…
my question would be - What would you do for William? we can all see where his future lies with his hairline, obviously we do not harvest an adequate amount of donor hair to cover the whole of the balding area, what would be the way forward for william in your opinion?
and also off the subject, i picked up on the comment made by the blogger, something to the tone of “feeling sorry for william on his wedding day, his looks seem to have diminished due to his balding process……” have you seen his wife? hes not doing to badly!
